SSW-108-01-G-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-108-01-G-P is an 8-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated forked contacts, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 756 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, lead time considerations, or application-specific packaging needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-108-01-G-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (8)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact type (Forked)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Current rating (4.7A per Contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The SSW-108-01-G-S qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The distinction between these parts lies in packaging configuration, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-108-01-G-P and SSW-108-01-G-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The SSW-108-01-G-S offers higher inventory levels (3359 units versus 756 units), which may provide advantages for lead time and supply chain continuity. Both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards, including UL94 V-0 flammability rating and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-108-01-G-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-108-01-G-P?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range. The difference between these part numbers relates to packaging configuration only.

Q: What is the difference between the -P and -S suffix designations?

A: The suffix designations indicate packaging type. Both parts are functionally identical in terms of electrical performance and mechanical dimensions. Packaging differences do not affect connector performance or compatibility in the application.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and EAR99 export classification. Both are active production parts from Samtec Inc.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility?

A: The following parameters must be identical: 8-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, forked contact type, through-hole mounting, solder termination, gold contact finish, 4.7A per contact current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical insulation height (0.335"), contact length (0.104"), and all mechanical dimensions. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged between these parts.
